Ingredients
Scale
Seafood
- 1 pound salmon fillets
Vegetables & Herbs
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
Others
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare foil sheets and arrange ingredients: Tear four sheets of aluminum foil. Place one salmon fillet on each sheet along with one-quarter of the asparagus and lemon slices.
- Add olive oil and season: Drizzle olive oil evenly over the salmon and vegetables on each foil sheet. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Add fresh herbs: Sprinkle chopped parsley and dill over the salmon and asparagus to enhance flavor.
- Seal the foil packets: Fold the foil sheets over the ingredients, sealing them tightly to create secure packets that will steam the contents during grilling.
- Grill the foil packets: Place the foil packs on a medium heat grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and the asparagus tender.
- Serve: Carefully open the foil packets to avoid steam burns and serve the salmon and asparagus while warm, enjoying the infused lemon and herb flavors.
Notes
- Make sure the foil packets are sealed well to trap steam and cook the ingredients evenly.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets and the heat of your grill.
- You can substitute fresh dill and parsley with other herbs like thyme or basil if preferred.
- For a milder flavor, remove lemon seeds before slicing.
- This recipe can also be cooked in an oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes if grilling is unavailable.
